FoO presents the Calendar's first offical, and rather silly, awards ceremony. It is now over, but I'll leave this here so you can chack out the winners if you missed it. Go on, have a look'see...

WARNING: Exam Season, RPGs may move slowly.

WhatistheCalendar?Howdoesitwork?

The Calendar is basically a floodgate. It is here to stop tirades of RPG's flooding the forum, then dieing, then there being a period where no RPG's exist.

To this end the calendar exists. When you come up with an RPG idea you submit it, then when enough have said that they're interested you go on the waiting list until there is a slot and then the RPG can begin!

HowdoIsubmitmyRPG?

To submit an RPG to the community fill in this simple form

RPG Name: (The title of your RPG)Moderator: (Your forum name)Plot: (The plot for your RPG, this could be your title crawl)Character/Faction Based: (Just put down character, faction or either if you haven't decided)Number of people interested: (I'll fill this in as we go along. This field will be deleted when your RPG has reached 5 people)

Yes, these rules are not subject to change, but most are common sense anyway

RPG Name: A New Empire Part 2Moderator: GorogPlot:

Two years have passed since the Battle of Endor. Imperial commanders and Moffs break away from High Command on Coruscant, while the remaining loyalists struggle to keep the forces of the Alliance of Free Planets at bay. However, while having a wide base of support, the former Rebellion lacks the military resources to take Coruscant.

In a surprise move, Alliance and Imperial leaders meet on the planet ITHOR. Drawing up a peace treaty, the delegates decide on a new government, transforming the Empire into a constitutional monarchy with the reinstatement of the IMPERIAL SENATE, led by a President appointed by the figurehead Emperor who has been elected by the Grand Moffs. MON MOTHMA is soon appointed to the post of President of the Imperial Senate.

However, some former Rebels refuse to recognize the Treaty of Ithor, and accuse Mon Mothma of having sold out the ideals of the Rebellion to assume control of the galaxy. These Rebels maintain arms in order to establish a true Republic. Similarly, some Imperial worlds denounce what they call a false Empire, and instead aid the Imperial warlords. As the new Empire and its Senate try to establish authority, the Galactic Civil War enters a new phase, manipulated by shadowy individuals with their own agenda...

Character/Faction Based: Character

RPG Name: Age of the WarlordsModerator: FoOPlot:

[c]After the disasterous failure of Palpatine's attempted formation of a unified Galactic Empire the Republic collapsed and the galaxy fell into ten years of darkness. Now three factions, the Thyferran Alliance, the Grand Directorate and the Azure Imperium have arisen and vy for control of the core worlds, using battered fleets with ancient clone wars ships and cheap cruisers, a shadow of the galaxy's former glory.

Over all of this the Church of Truth holds sway, binding the planets of the galaxy under its vicious doctorine. However one team of Directorate scientists on Kuat dare to defy them. In an attempt to create the ultimate weapon they unleash the ultimate sin, they unleash the Force.

Moderators

I've decided to add this section so that people can see at a glance if their favourite moderators or friends are planning an RPG at a glance, or if they're on the probation list. Thus I'm assigning everyone a colour, if you'd prefer a different colour don't hesitate to ask.

ProbationList

This is where a list of people and their crimes are put. If you are on this list it means something you have done has been deemed counter-productive to an RPG or the RPG community. Being on this list does not stop you creating RPG's through the calendar or playing in them. It is here to warn people of what you have done, so that if they don't want to run the risk of you messing something up half-way through.

Crimes include things like godmodding, flaming, spamming, quitting for no valid reason, etc. Basically anything that harms an RPG.

Darth Kiev: For abandoning ANE without reason, causing death of the RPG.

Perhaps against the Terrans or Toss, but how about the full force of the Zerg?

Actually, on the same forum where we did Battlefield 2142: Belgrade (The map Mini RPG we based it off of), we did The Last Stand RPG (Zombie). The writing in both were awesome, both had excellent plots, but the community was so limited (Out of over 150 members, there were only five-six active members), it died quickly. Say two weeks after starting.

I think either would make a great RPG.

I'll make a interest post for BF2142: Belgrade here in a moment, and if it gets enough people, I'll post it up after WWII and Apocalypse.

Sorry for the double post. Be warned, a bit of a read, please read all of it, this will (If accepted) go in MEC.

RPG Name: Battlefield 2142: Minsk Mini RPGModerator: Orrion CarnPlot:In 2106, the world froze. After a hundred years of debate and dessension, the world's governments were forced to face the reality of global warming--the next Ice Age had arrived. As snow and storms swept down from the north, living space and resources were swallowed by the encroaching ican and a frantic battle for survival began across the globe. Desperate nation united to form new superpowers--the European-led EU forces and Russo-Asian PAC Army. With the formation of these coalitions came the Titans, vast dreadnoughts with colossal destructive poer to dominate the skies, and lethal, armored Battlewalkers, designed to outpace and outgun infantry.

Expecting an invasion by the PAC into the agriculture-rich plains of Northern Africa, the European Federation concentrated its resources along the Mediterranean, ready to assist the Union of African States. A foray by two PAC battalions into Egypt seemed to confirm their suspicions, but the attacks were merely decoys, meant to distract the world from the PAC's primary objective, to destroy the military might of the EU's premiere units still located in Europe.

The Cold War began in October 2139 with coordinated PAC invasions from the Persian Gulf to the Baltic Sea. In November, as part of Operation Canute, three battalions led by General (Character still to be announced) entered Minsk, a key EU command center in Northern Europe. The Battle of Minsk featured the first employment of the militarized Titan in combat operations, changing the nature of modern warfare forever. Because of the Titans unmatched effectiveness as both a transport and assault medium, its destruction became a crucial component of military strategy.

The Battle for Earth, has begun.

Guys what the hell. We do not have enough people for all of these RPGs. We're already pushing the limit with the WWII RPG. And as far as SW RPGs go, Bando's ANE2 is to happen after Merai's Apocalypse.

Every day I pray to God that my family is safe. The cannons are firing almost constantly at incoming ships and their giant walking machines, and I know it’s only a matter of time before they run out of ammunition. I haven’t had a decent meal in days, but I keep fighting. We’re all running on blood, sweat, and tears. Every day, more of my brothers die, either from a Chimeran attack or those sick little bugs that find their way through the perimeter now and then.

The Chimera number in the billions now. Human beings are outnumbered over a thousand to one by creatures who aren’t even from our planet. For two years we’ve prepared our defenses, created new weapons, and waited for the inevitable attack, but we couldn’t imagine the scale of the invasion. Massive flying ships carrying thousands, maybe millions of Chimeran soldiers attacked us from the East and the West. The government said it would protect us, but almost everyone knows the truth. Ever since New York became the first enemy-occupied American soil, we knew that our time was up. Civilians have been evacuated in waves to what they’re calling the Liberty Perimeter in the Midwest. It’s only a temporary measure, though. A stopgap to our destruction.

But you know what the funny thing is? It doesn’t matter.

I’m going to do my best to kill as many of these inhuman bastards as I can. Every single one that I kill is one that won’t threaten my parents or my sister. Every person I save is another life that might survive this war.

Even with this resolve hardening my gut, I know that humanity is doomed.

God help us.

I'll just read up on it before it starts. (That means I've never played it )

Yes yes Ace Empire 1st

Hey if you've been waiting over a year for one of the best RPGs to ever hit SWU, you would understand

Yes, there will be Sentinels. The Chimaera will be controlled by me in general (And by Daedalus in particular). This doesn't mean that you can't make Chimeran characters, but be aware that the Chimera are pretty much mindless drones, with the exception of Daedalus.

BTW, I suggest you all look up the Resistance wiki on Google for the history of the series.

The crawl says May 22nd, but we're really going to start on May 15th, the day the Chimera actually invaded the United States. And as for Nathan, we're going to try something new. Whoever post the best opening post as him in the sign-up thread (If this actually works) will be given the character, since he's kinda integral to the series and all. I'm not trying to be picky, but let's face it: some of us *cough*Melkor*cough* are better at roleplaying than others.

I think I'll play some co-op with my brother and play out some X-Ray characters.

But I'm gonna keep Malikov. Maybe Capelli (Can't figure out if I spelt that right). But that all depends when I take a look at the Resistance Wiki again. I don't really want to have a character who dies at the end of R2 yah know?

Speaking of which, maybe not Malikov, he commits suicide in an intel document in R2.

So we'll see. I got a few options to work with.

Ryan Set Go - I'm a YouTuberI play games there, what else did you expect?

Mainly out of curiosity, what's the short of how y'all RP and what's expected/the general way things are done?
